College of Charleston: Jordan

I could not be more excited about that the Design Your Own Jenn and Aimee dresses are now available in white. I am someone who loves to wear white no matter what season it is - I am definitely a fashion rule breaker. There is nothing that I love more than a white dress. Simple and fresh, and it’s so easy to accessorize!

In my last blog I mentioned that at College of Charleston, girls all wear white dresses (no caps and gowns, luckily). The Jenn dress stands out by itself with its bold ruffle and low back, so there is no need to go overboard on jewelry. I love the aqua tones in this Kate Spade bangle, and paired with the gold studs, you have just enough sparkle!

How would you wear this dress?

College of Charleston: Jordan

It’s hard to believe that this semester is coming to an end! This a bittersweet time of year, where summer is so close that you can’t wait to finish all of your final exams and projects yet you don’t want to say goodbye to your friends who are graduating or living in other parts of the country for the summer.

Here at the College of Charleston we have a very special graduation tradition: all of the women wear white dresses and carry red roses, and the men wear white tuxedos with red rose buttoners. The graduation ceremony is held in the Cistern, one of the oldest and prettiest areas of campus. It was the backdrop for movies like “Dear John”, “The Patriot”, and “The Notebook” (I had friends who were extras….soo cool!). Tradition says that a CofC student cannot walk across the actual Cistern (the raised platform shown below) until the day of graduation. Graduation is a big deal at CofC, and I can’t wait to attend this year and watch as my friends graduate!

Although I won’t be donning a white dress this year, (I still have one more year at this beautiful college, thankfully) I will be wearing Emma Graham to celebrate!

The Griffin dress-so comfortable and breathable, and who can resist that coral!
